New IRCC Survey Now Open to Improve Settlement Services for Newcomers
Introduction Starting December 16, 2024, Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has launched a new survey targeting permanent residents. This initiative aims to gather feedback on the settlement, resettlement, and integration experiences of newcomers in Canada. The survey is designed to improve existing services and identify areas where additional support is needed.
Newcomers hold a vital place in Canada’s future, and this survey gives them a chance to share their insights. By participating, immigrants can help shape programs that make settling in Canada smoother and more efficient.
What’s the Purpose of the IRCC Survey?

- Measure the success of current settlement services.
- Address gaps where newcomers face challenges.
- Enhance existing programs like language training, job placement assistance, and cultural workshops.
The insights from this survey will help create services that align more closely with the needs of newcomers, ensuring they receive the right tools for successful integration.
